Our sled hill happens to be part of a playground/skateboard park/ball field, giving kids lots more to do than just sled. It makes me smile, though, to see them choose rocks, trees, and the big hill over fancy equipment. Kind of like toddlers playing with the box more than the present that came in it!

One of the kids in our group brought a friend - made out of special cards, and soooo cool.

Back in November, with temperatures still in the 40s and 50s, we parents kind of groaned at the thought of getting together in wintry weather. Yesterday, though, with temps back up to 40-ish from the teens and single digits, the air was full of celebration. It was good fun to get outside, and it's a safe bet that everyone slept well last night.
